I can't believe I could have been so blind But love is strange I thought about it for a long long time But the truth remains I don't need another lonely night To dry my tears The answer's plain as black & white And I can see the picture very clear I've been living on the edge of a broken heart I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl I've been living on the edge of a broken heart Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye It isn't like you never had the chance To change your tune Did you think that I'm a dime a dance Well the dance is through I've been doing things for way too long But baby that's over (baby that's over) It won't be easy but I gotta be strong And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder I've been living on the edge of a broken heart I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl I've been living on the edge of a broken heart Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye I'll find someone else Who's nothing like you Two can play the game as well And your gonna be sorry baby When it's over I've been doing things for way too long But baby that's over (baby that's over) It won't be easy but I gotta be strong And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder I've been living on the edge of a broken heart I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl I've been living on the edge of a broken heart Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye I've been living on the edge of a broken heart I've been living on the edge of a broken heart Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye I've been living on the edge of a broken heart
